Cruise the rivers of Southern France

Discover the magic of Provence and Burgundy on a relaxing Rhône and Saône river cruise. Historic cities, sleepy villages, and sun-soaked vineyards are yours to explore from the comfort of our custom-built Star-Ship Emerald Liberte.

Enjoy daily shore excursions, special EmeraldPLUS cultural experiences, plus the EmeraldACTIVE program, all of which are included. Whether you prefer hiking through picturesque vineyards, canoeing through Avignon, cycling through the idyllic countryside, visiting iconic architectural landmarks, or indulging in the region's culinary delights, there's something for everyone.

You’ll also find exceptional value with Emerald Cruises, where all meals plus complimentary wine and beer is served with lunch and dinner, tipping and gratuities, WiFi and airport transfers are also included.
